Why are Lapis and Lazuli punny names?

Because I've seen them potholed to Just For Pun or something like that before.

Humans aren't on the level of the Saiyans. A small group of abnormally powerful humans are stronger than the average Saiyan. But the small group of elite Saiyans are then waaay better than that, and the average Saiyan is better than the average human.

It makes no sense to compare Kuririn to a regular Saiyan. He had so many opportunities they didn't, and those weren't related to his race.

I thought the whole reason the Ro Sa T was so helpful for the Saiyans was because it gave them a full year to train against each other.

Of course, they imply Vegeta didn't even do that, so...

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

[up] The 10x gravity and extreme conditions also helped. After all, Goku and Gohan trained against each other for three years before that and their gains weren't as massive as Vegeta's during the same time period alone or the one year they had in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Training with a goal in mind helps.The 3 years for the androids weren't as urgent as the ones spent for Cell.

I don't think Toriyama thinks that far ahead.

They've got blue eyes.

That's all I've got. Maybe he was playing Minecraft when asked what their names were.

How are they any less a pun than any one else in Dragonball history? If Ginyu is a pun on milk then how are Lapis and Lazuli NOT puns?

According to the Meaningful Name entry for Lapis and Lazuli, the name was a pun about their eyes. Kinda strange.

The RoSaT's conditions aren't really an upside. The increased gravity is something they can do better outside of the room, and the other conditions are just torture on the body according to Goku.

The room is useful when you simply don't have enough time, but the conditions and 2 day limit make it a poor choice when you've got time to spare.

Build a gravity machine inside the Room.

Wait. No. Build a gravity machine, put it in a Capsule, and then deploy the capsule inside the Room.

It would break pretty quickly, though.

Since every ten days is like a decade, so if you had it in there for a month, it probably would be broken at that point.

EDIT: Actually, that plan makes sense.

Humans conquered the mighty Oozaru, a creature that has scoured countless planets of life, in less than an hour of encountering it by treating it like a Puzzle Boss instead of a physical challenge.

Holy crap.

Oozaru Goku was so weak, he got beat by Yamcha.

No wonder he trained so hard afterwards.tongue

He got beat by Pu'ar actually.

Goku lost to Yamcha twice in a week.

And Yamcha figured out how to beat Oozaru Goku.

It was a team effort really.

That reminds me, why exactly did Yamcha know that cutting off Goku's tail would turn him back to normal? Is that a Journey To The West thing or what?

Something to do with knowing that grabbing Goku's tail made him weak.
